HOW HAS GC CHANGED YOUR LIFE(UPDATED)
I went through a lot as a child and suffered from horrible depression and anxiety. My parents divorced when I was 11. My mom was physically abused and decided it was finally time to leave. I was devastated. We moved from our Florida home and went back to Maine..where I was born originally. It had been a few years since I was back and everything changed greatly..My best friend from forever ago who I was keeping in touch with those few years was growing apart from me. I had to deal with sexual abuse from my moms boyfriend at the time as well..Everything Just seemed to keep getting worse. I was always an outcast in school as well and never really seemed to get along with many people. I started to hurt myself and didn't care about my own well being. Slowly the depression was getting more and more extreme.... One day I was sitting at my house..I was watching MTV and saw Good Charlotte's hold on music video. That changed my perspective on everything. I than had a sense of hope. For once I felt that I was not alone. "But we all bleed the same way as you do And we all have the same things to go through" Ever since that moment I had attached myself to them. They have been my heroes and my salvation ever since than. I have a tattoo devoted to them on my right forearm and I would never have it any other way. They saved my life. Ive been through a lot. and I owe so much to them. I really hope benji, joel, billy, paul, or deano read this. It would be really great. I just want them to know what theyve done for me...I'll never forget it. I want them to know that they mean the world to me... I just want to say thank you for everything. I love you all so much.
I'm starting a sleeve here too (: <3

ive always suffered from depression and GC's music just seems to get to me like no other band can. Listening to them makes me feel like im not alone and the fact they built there success from a broken background is inspiring.
They have been my favouite band for 6 years and i will always love them.
KEEP REPRESENTING GC 'CAUSE YOU KNOW THEY'RE REPRESENTING US =]

My parents divorced when I was 9. I moved to a foreign for three years with my mom's husband (he's stupid. but not that stupid...) and my sister. Then my mom's husband's daughter came. Then I came back to my homecountry, and I still live away from my dad and my sister too (she moved with him)
In the foreign country, I felt stupid and lonely (Not trying to sound like "Ohhh my life sucks" i know many, many, many people's life is worse than mine. But Im just saying what I thought as an eleven year-old). I felt like no one listened or understood (gosh. i sound so emoish.)
And then I listened Predictable in 6th grade. And I couldn't get them out of my mind. And I love them so much.
I hope everything's fine with you.
